1930s Motorcycle Hill Climb in ? Pennsylvania
Фильм және анимация
The cameraman was from Easton, Pa and one of the people along the path has "Bethlehem Motors" written on the back of his sweater (4:37). Could this be Freemansburg Hill climb from around 90 years ago? An old, faded and sometimes blurry home movie from around 1930 (check out the cars).

There's a railway and a river near the road... definitely F-Burg! Fabulous job, Ray!
Definitely Freemansburg. You can see the Lehigh River and the railroads tracks in the background
Nearly 100 years ago! Amazing!
Imagine someone today is traing to do this on his new harley with tassels on handlebar. These guys in the back days had balls.
Made you feel like you were there. Can see the dirt on their faces and the struggle in their expression.
How great it must have been
awesome
One rider on the hill had Bethlehem on the back of his sweater

Impossible to WALK up this hill! I tried. Don't know how they do it with cycles.
This is today, if you didn't know.

Me too! I tried to walk up it when I was a teen in the late 70's and it was pretty much impossible for me. Some of the guys I hung out with didn't do too bad. I don't know how they do it with cycles.
